Answer:

x^2/4 +y^2/9 = 1

Explanation:

It is reasonable to start with the form ...

(x/a)^2 +(y/b)^2 = 1

where "a" is the length of the semi-axis in the x-direction (2), and "b" is the length of the semi-axis in the y-direction (3).

Then you have ...

(x/2)^2 +(y/3)^2 = 1

The preferred form of this has the denominators multiplied out:

x^2/4 +y^2/9 = 1
